  Yeah...they could have two or three bags of balls for different credits.

  The game is rather easy as it is with people scoring in the 60's and even in the 50's I guess they don't want people mastering shots to get the scores even lower. Personally I hate practising and would rather just play.

   The method of hitting the ball off the tee and the fairway shots are presented differently. When I 1st joined all shots were the same...with the lines letting you fade the ball or draw it.  Now, after the drive, all I can do is guess. And the putting is awful for me. I would like to be able to practice putting.

  I would add an option to practice the same position many times. That would give us answers to all those questions: what if I've hit it stronger, what if I've hit it little left,  etc...

  In real golf, when you practice, you can turn back to the same position as many times as you like. And this is a simulation game, isn't it?

  Easiest possible solution to this would be to put a "retry" button in the practice mode...

  Hit a shot, click retry, hit it again. Shouldn't be that difficult right?

   

   

  Nahhh... it's too easy, they'll never go for it...

  Maybe too many issues prevent them from doing so. For example, what if the randomness is bigger than the club's precision factor? Retrying the same shot with the same parameters will give different outcome, more different than normal.

   

  What if the obstacles "pull" the ball, like many of us have experienced? Many times, besides the wind and the added compensation, the ball still decides to go to the bunker or water, to the opposite side than expected.
